JOHN COONEY, OF TORONTO, ONTARIO, CANADA.

SASH-BALAN'CE.

, SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 364,486, dated June 7, 1887.

Application filed February 2, 1887.

To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN COONEY, of the city of Toronto, in the county of York, in the Province of Ontario, Canada, carpenter, have invented a certain new and'useful Improvement in lVindowSash Balances, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to sash-balances; and it consists in the peculiar combinations and the novel construction, arrangement, and adaptation of parts, all as more fully hereinafter described and claimed.

Figure l is a perspective view of a window having its sashes balanced according to my in vention. Figs. 2 and 3 are crosssections of same.

I am aware that window-sashes have been arranged prior to my invention so as to balance each other; but in allbalances with which I am familiar they can only cit-her be applied to box-frames, or, owing to the manner in which they were applied, it is necessary to cut away a portion of each sash.

In the drawings, A represents two pulleyhrackets, which are inserted, as shown, into recesses made in the top sill, B.

A rope, 0, passes over each pulley, and its ends are connected to the upper and lower sashes, I) and E, respectively.

From this description it will be seen that my device may be very readily and cheaply recesses in the top sill, B, in order to receive the pulley-brackets A, and that owing to the simple manner in which they are thus applied Serial No. 226,294. (No model.)

any handy man can apply them to a window very easily and quickly.

NVith the view of enabling the upper or lower sash to be operated independent of the other, the end of each rope O is connected to the lower sash, E, by means of a dog, F,whieh fits through a slot made in the sash E and engages with the notched plate G, secured to the outside of the said sash. The dog F is provided with a ring, H, so that it may be readily adjusted into any of the notches formed in the plate G. In this way either sash may be worked independent of the other, while at the same time they balance each other when the dog F fits into one of the notches in the plate G.

I am aware of the Patent No. 95,180, and make no claim to the construction shown therein as forming part of my invention.

\Vhat I claim as my invention is- The combination, with the window frame and sashes, of the pulley-brackets A, ropes 0, passed over the pulleys and connected at the ends with the sashes, the slotted notched plate G, secured to the outside of the lower sash, and a dog, F, connected with one end of said rope passed through said slot and engaging said plate, substantially as and for th purpose specified.
